Nickel Titanium (NiTi) film on Au or Cu grids
When applied to nickel-titanium (NiTi) grids, provides significant advantages for cryo-EM characterization and sample preparation. The combination of a high-quality, single-crystalline graphene film and the mechanical properties of NiTi creates a superior support structure for imaging. NiTi grids offer exceptional mechanical stability and resilience, helping to maintain grid integrity during sample preparation and imaging. The graphene coating, with its single-atom thickness, ensures minimal background noise, improving contrast and preserving the natural state of samples.
The use of graphene on NiTi grids effectively addresses common challenges in cryo-EM, such as uneven ice layers, dominant sample orientation, and sample movement, while enhancing imaging contrast and accommodating higher sample concentrations. This advanced configuration enables researchers to achieve clearer, high-resolution images and more reliable structural analysis, making graphene-coated NiTi grids an optimal choice for challenging cryo-EM applications.
The Advantages of Graphene-Coated Nickel-Titanium (ANTcryo) Grids
Higher Mechanical Strength
ANTcryo grids, especially when combined with graphene, offer more mechanical strength compared to traditional carbon grids. This helps maintain grid integrity during sample preparation and imaging.
Reduced Background Noice
Graphene's atomic thinness provides a flatter, cleaner surface, resulting in lower background noise and higher image contrast than typical carbon films, which may have more irregularities.
Greater Versatility in Environmental Conditions
While carbon grids can degrade or oxidize under certain conditions, ANTcryo grids with graphene coating offer superior resistance to environmental degradation, making them suitable for more demanding applications.
